An Xinghe was overjoyed! He had indeed arrived in the Merfolk tribe!
An Xinghe jumped out of bed, bowed to the mermaid, and said:
"Thank you very much for saving me, Miss Mermaid! I'm already much better. My name is An Xinghe, and I'm human."
The mermaid had never seen such a polite and handsome young man as An Xinghe, and her face immediately turned red:
"Um, my name is Vanessa. I happened to find you drowning while playing in the sea, so I saved you. No need to thank me!"
"In the sea?" Hearing Vanessa say this, An Xinghe suddenly realized that he was surrounded by seawater! But he felt no discomfort at all!
Vanessa saw An Xinghe's confusion and explained:
"I gave Mr. An an Ocean Heart. It allows Mr. An to breathe and swim freely in the water, just like us Merfolk."
Hearing Vanessa say this, An Xinghe discovered a new skill in his skill bar.
[Name: Ocean Heart] [Type: Passive Skill] [Quality: Perfect] [Effect: Allows free living and breathing in any body of water] [Notes: In our Celestial Dynasty, this is called a Water-Repelling Pearl!]
The word "Perfect" deeply stung An Xinghe's eyes!
Livestream Room.
[Perfect... a Perfect-grade skill! Did you guys see that? It's a Perfect-grade skill!]
[This is only An Xinghe's fourth Instance! He already has a Perfect-grade skill, is he even letting others live!]
[This skill is passive! A passive skill that's even more precious than an active one! I'm so jealous!]
[Big shot Yang Mi has cleared so many Instances and only has one Perfect-grade skill, and it's an active one!]
[Call the police, An Xinghe is cheating!]
[This can't even be explained by cheating anymore! He's probably the game's favored son!]
[Didn't you guys notice? This skill was given by a girl!]
[Another delicious bowl of soft rice!]
[This soft rice is too delicious!]
An Xinghe naturally knew how precious Perfect-grade skills were. He couldn't help but ask Vanessa with some concern:
"The Ocean Heart I took must be an extraordinary treasure, right? Is it really okay to give something like this to a stranger?"
Vanessa shook her head faster than a rattle drum:
"Mr. An, you worry too much. The Ocean Heart isn't considered a valuable treasure, and it's my personal item. You don't need to worry."
Chapter 50 Vanessa
As Vanessa and An Xinghe were chatting, a knock came from outside.
"Vanessa, are you there? I'm coming in."
Vanessa's face suddenly turned pale. She quickly shouted:
"Sister Jennifer! Don't come in yet! I... I'm not convenient!"
Jennifer outside chuckled:
"What could be inconvenient between us? Are you still sleeping in, Vanessa? Then I'll have to come in and pull off your covers!"
Jennifer's words reminded Vanessa. She forcefully pushed An Xinghe onto the bed and jumped on herself, covering them both with a waterweed blanket.
At this moment, Jennifer pushed the door open!
She looked at Vanessa lying on the bed and said with a doting smile:
"Oh oh oh, so our little Vanessa also has days when she sleeps in!"
Vanessa playfully twisted her body:
"Sister~~ I'm not sleeping in!"
However, she forgot that there was another person under the covers! And he was a young, spirited man!
She also forgot that this was a single bed!
An Xinghe felt fragrance constantly drilling into his nostrils!
This was a pleasure no mortal could endure!
Vanessa also realized something was wrong. She quickly stopped moving and reached under the covers to pat An Xinghe's head, signaling him not to move his hands!
Jennifer also noticed something was wrong. She pointed at Vanessa's blanket and asked doubtfully:
"Sister, is your blanket this puffy?"
Hearing this, An Xinghe knew it was bad. He reflexively hugged Vanessa's fish tail, ensuring they were as close as possible!
Vanessa's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp. She replied perfunctorily, "Have you gained some weight recently?"
Jennifer chuckled, "Everyone knows Father King dotes on you the most! He saves all the best food and drinks for you! It's no wonder you've gained weight! Father King even bestowed upon you the only Ocean Heart in the entire Merfolk tribe!"
Livestream Room.
[Little Vanessa has been exposed!]
[She just said the Ocean Heart wasn't precious, who knew the Merfolk only had one!]
[Something that can directly generate a Perfect-grade skill, how could it not be precious!]
[An Xinghe is really going to live off her completely!]
[Is An Xinghe going to offer himself in return for this?]
[Is what An Xinghe is doing offering himself?! That's called starting a harem!]
[Sob sob sob! Little Vanessa is truly too kind!]
Vanessa felt extremely embarrassed to be exposed by Jennifer on the spot! She quickly changed the subject, "Sister, what brings you here?"
Jennifer remembered she had important business and quickly composed herself, "It's like this, your coming-of-age ceremony is in a few days, right? Father King sent me to call you over to discuss it."
As she said this, Jennifer leaned close to Vanessa's ear and whispered, "Let me tell you a little secret, Father King has already found the most handsome and valiant young man in our Merfolk tribe for you! He'll marry you after your coming-of-age ceremony! I've seen that young man, he's so handsome! If he wasn't reserved for you, Vanessa, I would have snatched him up myself! You'll definitely like him!"
If Vanessa had heard this news yesterday, she would have happily agreed.
But for some reason, Vanessa didn't feel any happiness at this moment. A man's shadow appeared in her mind.
For the first time, Vanessa felt resistant to Father King's arrangements!
Vanessa felt her heart in turmoil.
The viewers in the livestream room saw through Vanessa's thoughts:
[That expression, she's fallen for him again!!]
[An Xinghe, please stop using your Spiritual Power!]
[I should have realized it when Vanessa gave An Xinghe the Ocean Heart!]
[An Xinghe, the human-shaped, self-propelled beauty harvester??]
[Brother An! Dad An! I'm kneeling! Please teach me how to reincarnate!]
[Um, is there a reproductive barrier between humans and merfolk?]
[Ahem, how can you know if you don't try...]
Jennifer also noticed something was off with Vanessa. She asked, "Little Vanessa, what's wrong? You're not happy? You don't like Father King's arrangement?"
Vanessa shook her head, "It's not that, it's just..."
"Never mind, Sister, you go first. I'll come find Father King shortly."
Jennifer didn't suspect anything, "Alright, then hurry over, don't keep Father King waiting."
Jennifer closed the door, and An Xinghe could finally pull back the covers and breathe some fresh air!
Vanessa pointed at An Xinghe with a trembling finger, "Mr. An, can... can you let me go now?"
An Xinghe quickly released his hand, which had been holding Vanessa's fish tail.
To be honest, these soft scales felt truly addictive to the touch!
Chapter 51: I'm doing this for stealth! Stealth, you understand!
After the incident with Jennifer's arrival, an awkwardness arose between An Xinghe and Vanessa.
Fortunately, An Xinghe, being an experienced driver, quickly changed the subject, "Vanessa, the Ocean Heart you gave me isn't as common as you said."
Vanessa's face flushed red, "I... I didn't mean to lie to you."
An Xinghe took a step forward, closing the distance between them, "Such a precious gift, and I, in my simple clothes, have nothing to repay you with."
"How about I offer myself in return?"
Vanessa quickly waved her hands:
